Unless the opponent is a known maniac, you need to sedate yourself at some point in this hand. Capping the turn is debatable but ok. But given that you capped the turn and got led into on the river, raising the river is insane and capping the river is criminal.

When you get involved in a hand like this you need to remember that your opponent knows damn well you might have AK and he doesn't appear to be concerned about it. It may be different if you had A5s and the board had a pair of 5's on it. He may go crazy with an overpair or something thinking you can't possibly have a 5.

Cap it preflop. Call the river 3bet.

Why no cap preflop?

Otherwise, looks good, except the river cap looks a bit excessive ; you have to start thinking he has the boat at some point.

Cap preflop. 3 bet flop.

I don't think I'm raising the river after he bets. He's leading into you after you capped. Definitely cap preflop. Unless he's a maniac, I'm not putting that many bets in after.
